A good portion of my life has been spent searching for The Perfect Purse. Every time I think I find it, I come to the conclusion that there might be something better. Of course, sometimes what is “perfect” for one time in my life no longer serves the needs of a new time in my life. But at the moment, I have found something that works extremely well for me: the quilted knapsack.
I have one. The problem is, I’ve had it so long and used it so much, that it’s starting to fall apart. It’s time to upgrade, get a new one. Of course, at this moment, quilted knapsacks are not fashionable, not the latest style, not something that can easily be found in the stores. Believe me, I’ve looked everywhere. They are just not out there.
So I went to ebay, and I found just what I was looking for, and put in a bid…and I won! Here is a picture of what it will look like. It’s just like the one I have now, only a different color. It’s got a ton of pockets on every side, and even an additional small pocket inside, great for keeping everything organized. The straps are cloth, and not big and bulky, so it’s really comfortable to sling over your back. I thought the pink and orange tones would be very festive for Spring and Summer.
So in a little while my new quilted knapsack will be arriving…from China. Yep. I’m having something shipped to me, directly from China.
I love the internet.
I’ve discovered a new show on TV that I’ve been enjoying the last few days, on MTV (of all places!). The show is called “My Life as Liz” and it’s about a supposedly nerdy outcast teenage girl who has to put up with all the drama of high school. I say “supposedly” because of course she is not ACTUALLY nerdy, she actually looks kind of cool and stylish (I think). She has really vibrantly red hair, in this kind of emo hairstyle that looks really cool. She might be an outcast, in comparison to the “popular kids,” but I in no way would call her a “nerd.” Cos, of course, you know if they ever made a show about a nerdy kid and used an actual nerdy kid, nobody would want to watch it. So there’s this kind of disingenuous spirit to the whole thing, but hey—that’s what you always get on TV and in movies, so I’m used to it.
